Omar Gonzalez did an AMA today

quote:AmericanGooner 22 points 10 hours ago Huge fan, Omar! Just one question. Who is an up and coming American player that you think has the biggest potential?

I think that would be my Galaxy teammate José Villarreal. He's playing really well right now and I want to see him continue in that path and hopefully be an influential player for the US one day.

quote:sevsarkissian 28 points 10 hours ago I see you like playing in the kitchen & Giada is a fan of yours, do you tell your kitchen "Omar's comin'" and yell "Omar Smash!" when you're cooking?

]Omar4Gonzalez[S] 191 points 9 hours ago I do not yell "Omar's coming" at any point in my day. Well, sometimes but not in the kitchen.

quote:ForzaEc 25 points 10 hours ago Hi Omar, you're my favorite USMNT player and a big hero of mine as a Mexican-American. What went in to your decision to play for the USMNT instead of El Tri? Who was your most intimidating opponent as in one particular player, and then the most intimidating club as a whole? Is playing in a place like Honduras scarier than El Azteca because it's not such a massive wall of sound?

Omar4Gonzalez[S] 54 points 9 hours ago Well, I was born in the US. I've made a living for myself in the US and love everything about this country. So it really wasn't a hard choice. It's an honor to play for this county. Messi for player. Most intimidating club. Barcelona or Real Madrid. It was a lot tougher to play in Honduras because of the heat and poor field conditions. Fans were really crazy as well. Those three things combined made it really difficult to play in Honduras.

Omar4Gonzalez[S] 63 points 10 hours ago Yes, I do have aspirations to play in Europe, I just need to wait for the right opportunity.
